The Sparcs I've worked on in the past have always had a probe-scsi command to probe the scsi bus. That said I have no experience with the Sun Blade systems and don't know if they have a similar command.

Having autoboot true doesn't help. The system locks in openboot with the message "Boot Device: disk File and Args:", nothing else. The disk is also ok. In a linux system, I was able to do a nondestructive check of the hdd and there were no errors reported. The file on the partitions were also readable, so I have no reason to believe there is any kind of physical problem with the hdd. Probe-scsi in OpeBoot did not return any found devices. Probe-ide found both hdd's and the cdrom.
